Chapter 40 Apprenticeship, hidden secrets
Lu Qing's apprenticeship ceremony is not complicated.
Old Doctor Chen is not a person who likes to show off, and he keeps everything simple.
Hence, Lu Qing just followed the procedure and paid homage to the ancestor under the witness of everyone, then kowtowed, served tea, and called out "Master, please drink tea."
Old doctor Chen sat on the chair, took the tea, and took a sip. The ceremony of apprenticeship was completed.
"Okay, get up."
After drinking tea, old doctor Chen said to Lu Qing.
"Yes, Master."
Lu Qing stood up and stood aside with his hands down.
Old doctor Chen also stood up and saluted the villagers in the yard:
"Thank you fellow villagers for coming to witness my apprenticeship ceremony. Today I have a beloved disciple, and I am even happy. There are few people in the small courtyard and the house is small, so I can't prepare anything to eat for you. I can only prepare a few small gifts for everyone."
After saying this, he picked up a tray from the table behind him, with rows of small cloth bags on it.
"These are medicine packs I made in my spare time. They have the effect of calming the mind, promoting sleep, and driving away mosquitoes."
"If you don't mind, take one or two back and hang them on the bedside, which can protect your home from mosquitoes for ten and a half months."
"So powerful?!" The villagers looked at the medicine packs and were pleasantly surprised.
Now is the season when mosquitoes are most annoying. If this medicine pack is really as good as the old doctor said, it would be really exciting.
For a time, the villagers who originally wanted to be polite could no longer refuse.
The old doctor smiled when he saw this and said to Lu Qing: "Ah Qing, go and distribute these medicine packets to the villagers."
"Yes, Master."
Lu Qing took the tray, walked to the villagers, and distributed the medicine packets one by one.
"Grandpa Zhang, here you go."
The first person Lu Qing gave to was Uncle Zhang.
"Good boy, remember to learn from Old Doctor Chen in the future."
Uncle Zhang took the medicine package and said with a pleased look on his face.
"I will, Grandpa Zhang." Lu Qing nodded seriously.
Other villagers got the medicine package and smelled it. They felt the aroma of the medicine was refreshing, rich but not overpowering. They felt refreshed and knew that it was indeed a good thing, so they quickly put the medicine package away.
This is prepared by the old doctor himself. You may not be able to buy it elsewhere, so you have to keep it well.
"Everyone, when you go back, remember to hang the medicine bag in the room, otherwise after half a month, the smell of the medicine will dissipate and the medicine bag will be useless."
Old doctor Chen couldn't help but remind him when he saw some villagers hiding the medicine bag with great care.
Seeing the old doctor say this, some villagers gave up the idea of going back and hiding the medicine bags.
After witnessing the apprenticeship ceremony, Uncle Zhang and the others began to say goodbye one by one.
But before leaving, Uncle Zhang pulled Lu Qing aside and told him that when he was free, he remembered to pay homage to his grandfather and parents and tell them the good news.
After seeing Lu Qing’s serious response, he went down the mountain with satisfaction.
After all the villagers had left, Lu Qing was still standing in front of the small courtyard, watching the backs of everyone walking down the mountain.
"Ah Qing, your grandfather formed a good relationship back then, and that's why we have such a group of good neighbors today."
Old doctor Chen walked to Lu Qing's side, looked at the crowd at the foot of the mountain and admired.
"Master, I have never known these things, and my grandfather and parents have never talked about these things." Lu Qing said.
"This just shows that your grandfather was a man of high integrity and never repaid his kindness. Unfortunately, I came here a little late and did not have the chance to meet a scholar with such character."
Old doctor Chen said with some regret.
He had a feeling that if he could have come here earlier, maybe he could become close friends with Lu Qing's grandfather.
"Master, do you know how my parents died?" Lu Qing suddenly asked.
"Because of what Mr. Zhang said before?"
"Yes, I always thought that my parents died in an accident, but from what Grandpa Zhang said before, it seemed that there was something else hidden." Lu Qing nodded.
In the memory of the original owner, he believed that his parents died unexpectedly, but now it seems that it may not be that simple.
Old doctor Chen was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"I don't know about this either. When your parents passed away, I happened to be treating a nobleman in the city. When I came back, I heard that your parents unfortunately fell into the water and died, but I couldn't see the bodies, so I don't know if that's true."
"If you want to know the truth, I'm afraid you have to ask Mr. Zhang and the others."
Lu Qing remained silent.
In fact, the same is true for the information obtained in the memory of the original owner.
My father and mother unfortunately fell into the water and died. When the bodies were brought back, they were still swollen and terrifying, and the original owner was immediately frightened.
Some of the things that happened after that all happened when the original owner was in a state of confusion.
Hands sold their fields, collected their bodies, and held condolences and vigils. There seemed to be some people among them who had come to cause trouble.
By the time the original owner came to his senses, his parents had already been laid to rest.
Looking back now, there are all kinds of doubts.
It is a pity that the original owner suffered a huge blow during that time, and many of his memories were confused, leaving Lu Qing unable to figure out too many clues.
"However, I don't recommend that you ask Mr. Zhang and the others for the truth now."
Old doctor Chen suddenly spoke when he saw Lu Qing's silence.
"Why is this, Master?"
"Since Zhang Laozhang and the others hid this matter from you, they probably did it for the sake of you and Xiaoyan. They were afraid that you would do something wrong impulsively after knowing the truth. Do you still think that Zhang Laozhang and the others would harm you?"
"Grandpa Zhang and the others are naturally not that kind of people."
The most important thing is that in the information detected by his powers, it has never been shown that there is anyone in the village with such a gloomy mind.
"In this case, you should believe Mr. Zhang. If they don't tell you the truth now, they obviously think that the time has not come yet."
"So what you should do most now is not to pursue the truth, but to study hard. When you are capable enough, I believe Zhang Laozhang and the others will tell you the truth."
Lu Qing was silent again.
In fact, he wanted to know the truth, not to do anything impulsive.
After all, although he inherited the memory of the original owner, he did not have any deep feelings for his "father and mother" whom he had never met.
What he was worried about was whether the truth about the death of the original owner’s parents would be harmful to him and Xiaoyan.
But as Master said, he is still too weak now.
Even if you know the truth, it will not help.
It’s better to settle down and learn the skills from the master first.
"I understand, Master."
After thinking about this clearly, Lu Qing said.
Seeing that Lu Qing seemed to have figured it out, Dr. Chen smiled.
His disciple is very smart, and he doesn’t want him to indulge in so-called hatred at such a young age.
That would only distort his mind.
Hence, he quite approved of what Uncle Zhang and others were doing.
Seeing that Lu Qing's face seemed a little gloomy, the old doctor decided to divert his attention.
"Ah Qing, now that you have become my disciple, there are some things that I should let you know."
Lu Qing raised his head.
Seeing that it was indeed effective, the old doctor laughed.
hh continued: "Aqing, do you know what you should have if you want to be a good doctor?"
